Why Visit Ischia ?
Ischia is a volcanic island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, at the northern end of the Gulf of Naples. Ischia has a population of nearly 58,000 people.
The roughly trapezoidal island lies 30 km from Naples and measures around 10 km east to west and 7 km north to south with a 34 km coastline and a surface area of 46.3 km².
It is almost entirely mountainous, with the highest peak being volcanic Mount Epomeo at 788 meters: the volcano was active in Classical times.
Ischia is also the name of the main comune of the island. Other comuni include Barano d’Ischia, Casamicciola Terme, Forio, Lacco Ameno and Serrara Fontana.
